    Only Known Photo of me Smoking. Circa 1989.

    One of my first pipes, a Peterson System "military fit", was a favorite on our late night offroad rides. Like all of my early pipes, it was purchased from George Karr at the Tinder Box at the Southcenter Mall just south of Seattle. We'd ride after work, year round. Based on the mud, I assume...

    My Oldest Un-smoked pipe: a Karl Erik, Circa 1990

    I have a few un-smoked pipes, but I think this is my oldest. Is there anything unique or interesting about it?

    Reattaching a Tenon Broken off the Stem?

    Here is my poor Peterson from Cork. I realize now that I can repair it myself with the correct insert, and perhaps a slight overbore, and the right adhesive. I'll start looking into options.

    I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?

    Wouldn't that be the best thing to hit the news in a very long time!

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    Having been used to it in the past... I was to the point that I smoked straight latakia... and then having a clean mouth for a couple decades, has made me appreciate the latter so much more.

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    Now that I think about it, I have some kind of wax that I bought as part of a restoration kit about 10 years ago... I'll see if I can chase it up!

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    I just found an old photo I can use it this thread, and the hat thread! The above watch during boat changeover, using the "harbor truck" (basically a rusty, gas powered wheelbarrow that would be instant death on the road) to haul tanks back and forth. The joke was that the first aid kit...

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    When I was a working diver, I wore my Citizen Promaster with a safety strap for thousands of dives. I loved the strap in those conditions because it remained well rinsed day in and day out. Otherwise, I found it to get rather manky with sweat. I like to use it when I am doing rope work in the...

    The Perfect Outdoorsman Hat

    I just found an old photo I can use in this thread, and the watch thread!

    I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?

    Ah, I don't smoke inside, so that's the thing here. Otherwise, I'm with you on that.

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    Note to self: Get some oil or wax.

    Thank you! Is it ok to rinse them if I dry them right away?

    The Perfect Outdoorsman Hat

    I had something like that, but standing on the fly bridge, running 12 knots into headwind had a "garrote by drogue" effect. In the end I just let my hair grow out and burn blonde.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I actually listened to the auiobook and when the forward started giving things away, I wasn't able to snub the "pause" button fast enough to avoid the end of the book being spoiled. I was gobsmacked, and actually wrote to Morrell about it. He agreed that the publisher should have placed it as...

    I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?

    I' I'm willing to admit it may be the lack of selection on my part. I typically stick with one or two blends and don't experiment. I will try some lighter options!

    I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?

    I loved living in the islands where the coldest winter night was in the low 60's. But having developed my smoking in climes north, I just didn't care for the smoke in those conditions.

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    You know, I have never done that. I will start the habit today.

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    Even when I was actively smoking back in the day I had not heard of this. I will look into it!

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    It really is, yes. Heh. Wonderfully gross, though!

    How to Avoid Ashtray Mouth?

    That could very well be a contributing factor for me; a great idea, thanks!
